Overview of Skills


Enable full automation management for network scraping, social media data extraction, and lead generation workflows by integrating the PhantomBuster cloud platform through the Composio MCP.

Use Cases

1. Social Media Data Extraction


Batch-extract user information, post data, and engagement records from platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter for market analysis and user research.

2. B2B Lead Generation

3. CAPTCHA Handling


Handle hCaptcha challenges within automated workflows to ensure scraping tasks are not interrupted and workflow continuity is maintained.

Core Features

Proxy and Script Management


  • List all proxies and scripts under an account or organization to quickly search and monitor the runtime status of automation workflows

  • View script version branches and compare differences between staging and release branches to ensure the correct script version is deployed to the production environment

    • Resource and Usage Monitoring


  • View the organization’s resource quotas and current usage in real time to plan automation tasks effectively

  • Get the execution history of a specific proxy to trace detailed status and logs for each run

  • Export proxy usage reports (CSV format) to analyze team efficiency and cost allocation

    • CAPTCHA Solving Solution


  • Solve hCaptcha challenges using the PHANTOMBUSTER_POST_HCAPTCHA tool

  • Support custom proxies and User-Agent to simulate real user browsing behavior

  • Suitable for automated form submissions and web scraping flows that require CAPTCHA processing

    • FAQs

    How does PhantomBuster Automation integrate with other automation tools?


    Connect via the Composio MCP server (https://rube.app/mcp). On first use, the system prompts for an authentication link; once connected successfully, all PHANTOMBUSTER_* tools can be called within automation workflows.

    What technical background is required to use PhantomBuster for web scraping?


    No programming knowledge is required for basic usage—common scraping tasks can be done with prebuilt proxies. Advanced features such as custom scripts and branch management require some JavaScript knowledge, but the Composio MCP integration greatly simplifies the process.

    How does PhantomBuster handle web CAPTCHA issues?


    It provides a built-in hCaptcha solving tool. You only need to provide the page’s siteKey and pageUrl (and optionally proxy configuration) to obtain a CAPTCHA token. This service is integrated into automation workflows and requires no manual intervention.

    What happens when the organization’s resource quota is used up?


    When the organization reaches the resource quota limit, new automation tasks cannot be started. It’s recommended to regularly use PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_ORGS_FETCH_RESOURCES to monitor resource usage and adjust plans or upgrade your subscription in time.

    Which social media platforms does PhantomBuster support for data extraction?


    Supports major platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook, and more. For the detailed list of supported proxy types and functionalities, refer to the Composio Toolkit documentation (composio.dev/toolkits/phantombuster).
